Re: i just got in an accident last night really bad can u guys help me out

all that damage + airbags, its gone. usually airbags deploying means its totaled and not worth fixing for prolly $10k or more. will never drive the same anyway. start looking for another car and glad you survived.

I know about the airbag smell, when mine came out it actually caught my shirt on fire.....well singed it. That stuff stinks. But ya, frame damage = cheaper to buy another car.

used cars are pretty cheap these days and you could find something nice for 5-6k. depends on how much you have to spend.

FD rx7 twin turbo? those things are off the hook...but prices are off the charts... it'll probably cost u a couple times the money to get the rx7 than to get the em2 again... unless of course u got hook ups... but good to see you're okay man. and from the looks of it... no doubt its totaled

Re: bad accident last night help me out guys?

when you dont have full coverage insurance that means that they wont pay for your car right. if thats the case i dont even know if thats worth fixing since its a 02 because now a days you can get one for like 5000.

Re: bad accident last night help me out guys?

Cant tell anything from the picture except that you need new fenders, hood, bumper and front cross member. That part of the frame is replaceable, the real frame is under the car- if that has damage, then its pretty ****ed. Lift up hood and take a few clear pictures.

*previous three posts moved from other thread*

If you part out, I need the side mirrors and door handles. PM me!!

RX-7 twinnie = fragile pos imho, used to smoke 'em all the time in SCCA stuff with a triple-Solexed 260Z (although it had a rather healthy NISMO'D 3.1 stroker motor, coilovers, 9.5's, etc. muahaha). I had an 'early' late-style RX and HATED that temperamental beast.

Personally I'd opt for a well set-up S2000 on bang-for-the-buck ratio, just keep the thing bouncing off the limiter bike-style & they can be pretty darned quick.

Regardless, glad you're ok & good luck finding something you like

Totalled. If you don't have any collision coverage, get the car and part it out. Start looking for good used cars. Catalytic converter should be worth money in metals for sure. Anyone know the prices they pay for scrap steel nowadays?

I feel for you man.
